New pool build consulting for Las Vegas valley homeowners

What a build consultation can cover

• Talking through layout, size and how you plan to use the pool before you collect bids.
• Understanding what your city or Clark County will ask for at permit time, such as a plot plan and stamped structural plans.
• Checking your idea against the 600 square foot water surface limit for new single-family pools in Southern Nevada.
• Planning the safety barrier, gates and equipment location early, since they show up on permit plans.
• Preparing questions to ask builders, and comparing bids on the same scope.

Local rules worth knowing early

• New residential pools, spas and water features on single-family lots are limited to 600 square feet of combined water surface area under rules approved by the Southern Nevada Water Authority and local agencies in 2022.
• Southern Nevada amendments to the pool code call for a barrier at least 60 inches high for pools at one- and two-family homes.
• If your home is in an HOA, the association may require its own approval before construction starts.
